Place Date Hour Summary Reference
24   The CRA visited the Regiment and spoke to all available men. Two bombards of enemy guns are carried out on a request from the CBO. Enemy localities are engaged with one Troop; these localities are made obvious by smoke. We are relieved to hear the enemy still enjoying their Christmas in a riotous manner but even so all ranks are warned to be specially alert.
